An engaging, richly illustrated account of parish churches and
churchgoers in England, from the Anglo-Saxons to the mid-sixteenth
century Parish churches were at the heart of English religious and
social life in the Middle Ages and the sixteenth century. In this
comprehensive study, Nicholas Orme shows how they came into
existence, who staffed them, and how their buildings were used. He
explains who went to church, who did not attend, how people behaved
there, and how they-not merely the clergy-affected how worship was
staged. The book provides an accessible account of what happened in
the daily and weekly services, and how churches marked the seasons
of Christmas, Lent, Easter, and summer. It describes how they
celebrated the great events of life: birth, coming of age, and
marriage, and gave comfort in sickness and death. A final chapter
covers the English Reformation in the sixteenth century and shows
how, alongside its changes, much that went on in parish churches
remained as before.
